After years of continuous sparring in the school and at tournaments; I have very little respect for medium/light contact.
Reminds me of that quote in Prodigal Son about "friendly matches".
In my opinion there's not a lot you can tell by "going light and pointing out each other's weaknesses".
Of course, there are a lot of people who disagree with my view point on this issue, even other full contact folks- so take my advice with a grain of salt.
But still, when it comes to takedowns, the discussion has come up of whether or not you can actually demonstrate the technique and still go light. I, for one, am guilty of losing my cool after being taken down quite forcefully while "going light". As long as you didn't intentionally spike the guy, I wouldn't worry about it.
I didn't dump him on his back hard. I caught his kick and then just lifted it up so he was able to realize that he was going down and was pretty much able to catch himself.
